The grounds have the fragrance of cooked corned beef, blackberry, white cranberry, red grapefruit, yellow nectarine, cumin, magnolia, vanillin, wet oak, persimmon, egg white, dried cherry, milk powder, and Worcestershire Sauce

 

Cupping

The aroma of this coffee is of raisin,  apricot, marionberry, roasted cocoa nib, yellow nectarine, magnolia, orange blossom, vanillin, milk powder, wet oak, and white cranberry

This is a full body coffee that has a thick and chewy coating that sticks to your mouth and is dry

This is a high acidity coffee that has a bright and tart forward punch that is juicy and delicate at the end with a soft structure

Flavor 

The flavors are of blood orange, yellow nectarine, saffron, caramel, white cranberry, vanillin, blanched almond, dill, soil, magnolia, apricot, red grapefruit, marionberry, caramel, tamarind, smoked paprika, toasted pine nut, chia and cedar

As it cools notes of cream, orange and muted cinnamon develop alone with an earthy tone of saffron, and a spice note in the back of thai chili

 

French Press

The aroma of the cup is of white nectarine, tobacco, soil, blackberry, lemon grass, thyme, and white cranberry

The flavors of the cup are of white grape, white cranberry, lemon peel, blackberry, caramel, vanillin, lavender oil, dill, and chicory

The body of the cup is weak and has a tea like consistency and is very silky and juicy

The acidity is very low with a delicate juiciness, there is no tartness but is mellow and is lingering with a quick finish

I do not recommend this coffee on the french press
